Recovering from Burnout

In our fast paced world it is easier than ever to be burned out. High testosterone and motivated individuals like myself are more susceptible to burning the candle at both ends and wearing ourselves thin. In this episode I share what I am doing to recover from three years of unrelenting nonstop stressors. I don't talk about the details of my personal life because people use that as ammunition against me, but you can read between the lines when I talk about my experiences. For the first half of the show I focus on the scientific studies regarding ascorbic acid (vitamin C), magnesium, zinc, melatonin, and sodium chloride for recovering from burnout and staving off depression, anxiety, and other mental states that can manifest from burnout. I skim over the foundational stuff like going outside and getting sunlight because thats all most people are talking about. I do share why its important to get in enough calories and the liquid meal that I'm consuming when I don't have an appetite. I talk a little about traditional chinese medicine, why its crucial to restore your Yin energy, and the chinese herbs I'm taking everyday to assist with that. I pay respect to Ray Peat and appreciation of his focus on handling stress using bioenergetics and improving cellular health. Tools that I use are shared including the Apollo Neuro device and the two peptides I'm currently on.
